  • HIV diagnosis and fertility intentions among couple VCT clients in Ethiopia

    Yung-Ting Bonnenfant, Michelle J Hindin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    In Ethiopia, most HIV-affected couples are in serodiscordant relationships and must weigh any childbearing desires against the risk of transmitting the virus to a partner or child. This analysis investigates the relationship between HIV diagnosis and fertility intentions among couple voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clients in Ethiopia and whether this relationship differs between men and women. Data come from the Ethiopia Voluntary Counsel…

  • Couple VCT clients in Ethiopia: A heterogeneous HIV risk group

    Yung-Ting Bonnenfant, Michelle J Hindin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Studies show reduced HIV risk behaviors after couple voluntary counseling and testing (VCT), either resulting from the couple counseling process or the type of people it attracts. A total of 1858 sexually active individual VCT clients in partnerships were compared to 866 sexually experienced couple VCT participants with multilevel logistic regression. Sexually experienced couple VCT clients were also compared to those couple VCT clients who never…

  • HIV diagnosis and sexual risk behavior intentions among couple VCT clients in Ethiopia

    Yung-Ting Bonnenfant, Michelle J Hindin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    This research examines whether members of HIV affected couples are more likely to change their abstinence and condom intentions than members of HIV- couples during couple voluntary counseling and testing (VCT). A total of 1260 couple VCT clients in Ethiopia were asked about their sexual risk behavior intentions for the next two months after pre-test and post-test counseling. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine whether the couple…

  • Developing scales to measure perceived HIV risk and vulnerability among Ethiopian women testing for HIV

    Heather Bradley, Amy O Tsui et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    HIV prevention services are increasingly being used by individuals in developing countries, but we know very little about how self-assessed HIV risk determines health-seeking behavior. People may feel they are at risk of HIV infection for many reasons, including both risky behavior and anxiety associated with heightened HIV awareness. In order to improve the measurement of perceived HIV risk, we developed scales measuring two constructs. Perceive…

  • Economic Status, Education and Empowerment: Implications for Maternal Health Service Utilization in Developing Countries

    Open AccessSaifuddin Ahmed, Andreea A Creanga et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2010

    BACKGROUND: Relative to the attention given to improving the quality of and access to maternal health services, the influence of women's socio-economic situation on maternal health care use has received scant attention. The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between women's economic, educational and empowerment status, introduced as the 3Es, and maternal health service utilization in developing countries. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FIN…

  • HIV and family planning service integration and voluntary HIV counselling and testing client composition in Ethiopia

    Heather Bradley, Amare Bedada et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2008

    Integrating voluntary HIV counselling and testing (VCT) with family planning and other reproductive health services may be one effective strategy for expanding VCT service delivery in resource poor settings. Using 30,257 VCT client records with linked facility characteristics from Ethiopian non-governmental, non-profit, reproductive health clinics, we constructed multi-level logistic regression models to examine associations between HIV and famil…

  • Using mini-surveys to evaluate community health programmes

    Open AccessNASEK K NOSSEIR, James Mccarthy et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning1986

    A community-based integrated health, family planning and social services programme in rural Egypt included, among other things, the distribution of oral rehydration salts (ORS) on a large scale. Since there was no prior experience of such a distribution in this area, an evaluation plan was developed specifically to provide rapid feedback through a series of mini-surveys. The mini-surveys were particularly valuable since the distribution of both O…

  • Household Distribution of Contraceptives in Rural Egypt

    Saad M Gadalla, Saad Gadalla et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1980Cited by: 2

    Oral contraceptives were offered to all married, fecund women 15-44 years of age living in 38 Egyptian villages with a population of 200,000. Before the household distribution, contraceptive prevalence was 19.1 percent. Nine months after the distribution, the contraceptive prevalence increased to 27.7 percent, a relative increase of 45 percent. Based on this study, a modified delivery system is currently being tested on a governoratewide basis. T…
